Really stressed

Kennedy

So I’ve been extremely stressed and anxious lately because I’m starting college. I feel like I have no one to talk to about it. I feel like everyone expects me to be so excited but I’m way more scared and stressed than excited right now. I hate to bother the people around me by talking about it because I feel like they have way bigger things to deal with. Im seeing a new therapist while my normal one is on maternity leave and I haven’t been able to completely open up to him yet. I’m scared I’m going to slip into bad habits again. I have never been good in school, I had bad grades, I was bullied really bad and I ended up in the hospital a few times and never went back to a “traditional” high school. I just don’t want my college experience to be like my high school experience. I dont want to fail and end up back in the place I was a few years ago. I have been stress eating which is putting me in a bad place with my body image again, I have been picking at my skin and I haven’t even started. I’m just feeling like a complete failure already. I thought about getting back on my meds but the reason I stopped in the first place is because I never remembered to take them. I’ve been holding all this in for so long. I really just needed to get it off my chest and maybe if anyone in college has some feedback on how to handle a transition like this or anything I can do to make this a little easier.
